"Fact or Fiction: "Ahead of their time""


  

          

In this post you will identify an artist previously thought to be ahead of 'their time' and then determine if they were in fact ahead of 'their time'. Criteria for this analysis, stating the year in which 'their time' would have been. Without such a year it can be assumed the claim is fiction sense if 'their time' never came they could not be ahead of it.

If you wish to counter by stating 'their time' has yet to come, you will at least to give evidence showing 'their time' could still come.
